#Tackle52 . It’s not only something which went down in Hull FC folklore last year, but also it’s now the blueprint for success.

Whilst there was no one moment of defensive prowess which stood out as much as Danny Houghton’s solo miracle try-saver in 2016, Hull still utilised the same attitude to pull off a Wembley repeat when defeating Wigan Warriors 18-14 on Saturday.

And when Carlos Tuimavave reflects on his second Wembley triumph it’s those Tackle 52 moments he highlights as being key to Hull’s success.

Wigan had three missed opportunities in the final quarter on Saturday, with Tony Clubb going close and having a try debatably ruled out by the video, George Williams held up close to the line and a Joe Burgess score denied for a forward pass.

In all of those moments it was FC’s willingness to work for each other which helped them remain firm and Tuimavave believes it’s this attitude that can aid the Black and Whites in their pursuit of further success.

“It’s a great feeling. It’s unreal to think we are in the same position as last year and to win it back-to-back is amazing,” Tuimavave told the Mail.

“That finish was the longest last ten minutes of my life. The boys dug deep and we spoke before the game about the fact that it would be the ‘Tackle 52’ moments which would win us the game. I think we saved about three tries on our line and the boys just dug deep and we reaped the rewards at the end.

“It’s all about working hard for each other and trusting that the bloke next to you is going to have your back. It’s just that belief in one another. If we are going to go on and win the league we need to keep that attitude.

“Radders spoke about it at length at the start of the season. Our main goal is to become Super League champions.

“It takes nothing away from this moment and it’s still pretty special to go back to back.” But before Tuimavave and the squad could think too much about the future, they enjoyed the moment on Monday afternoon during their bus parade through the city.
